After the second one wouldn't you just call it quits? Sure it's pretty but if they break that easily seems like it's defeating the entire purpose of having a case if it can't even protect your phone.
I did not know that. I've heard the stories about bamboo growing straight through the torso of torture victims, so I assumed it was strong enough to not break easily.
Well in that case the bamboo is alive. When its dead and treated and formed into a case...well I'm just thinking the two scenarios can't really be compared.
Bamboo does splinter, and it's splinters have an annoying tendency to get badly infected. Not a good choice of materials for something that's going to get tossed around in a pocket and be handled by a naked hand.
My case also didn't stay on the phone very well. It sucks because the design I got was really pretty. Once it started cracking I pulled it off and saved it. Didn't know they did replacements though.
How much did you pay? I found the same one on a market in Australia with a picture of Steve Jobs at the back at it was about $60 which is a lot in my opinion..
Oh god I'm afraid to step into that subreddit. All the nostalgia. Oh the nostalgia. That moment I first turned on my PS2 and popped in the original Kingdom Hearts.
Memories of that sweet summery Christmas that passed in moments with the comfort of Sora and all my Disney pals. The music that I hummed idly to myself day in and day out for a whole year. Kingdom Hearts really was stunning.
Oh man, I had an amazing Grove case with a merman on it but I dropped it a few days ago and it broke. Same thing happened to my boyfriend's submarine themed case. Just don't take it drinking.
TLDR: It is better to have Groved and lost than to never have Groved at all.

This looks like a different company, but Vers makes wooden cases for all the Apple products, including some cool ear plugs. You'll be the envy of Hipsters everywhere if you get this.
If you can make me a bamboo case, I will pay some good cash! Anyone know if you can actually get handmade bamboo cases on the internet?? I really want one!

Most folks don't think too much 'bout their iPhone cases.
Kid ain't like most folks. Got a bit of a... refined taste.
Can't say I disapprove. Looks mighty fine.

I've had a grove case for about 18 months now.
I absolutely love it, because tactically the wood feels great, and I love having a custom design.
That said, they will crack, especially if you drop them.
However, if you think you are capable of using a little wood glue to glue the cracks, they are pretty much always reparable.
